finding no money in cetton at six and
eight cents per pound and are devoting
more room to both corn and oats.
There is but little general change in
wheat acreage, the seeding of some areas
to grass and other crops in the older states
being balanced by fresh lands in others.
In the states of the central west ii il per-
haps narrowed somewhat, while in the
northwest and transmississippi states the
deficiency is made up. In Iowa and Mis-
souri, corn has gained this year at the ex-
pense Of wheat and in the latter state Of
meadows injured by the severe winter.
More than the usual attention seems TO
lie devoted to the use of flax, the area be-
ing reported as increased in some coun-
ties in New York, Michigan and states of
the northwest.
The states and territories into which the
tide of immigration is steadily pouring
show marked increases in the total cult
waited area, though the portions devoted TO
the principal crops are not materially
changed.

\ correspondent in Rural New Yorker
gives the following instructions about
making drags: \ one horse drag made Of
four two inch plankS will be heavy enough.
If made of one inch boards weights must be
added. For two horses l use four boards
one foot wide, two inches thick and ten
feet long When the driver rides, this is
heavy enough. When used to cover grass,
turnip or flax seeds, it is heavy enough of
itself. For four horses, for use on wheat
and corn land, five two inch planks, six
teen feet long and one foot wide, will be
about right. With one team ut each end
of this, four acres an hour can be put into
the best possible condition for the wheat
drill or the corn planter. These drags are
made in two ways-by spiking the planks
to pieces of four by four inch scantling, as
in the first cut, or by boiling the planks
together, as in the second cut.

But the bravest man of all, the one who

men while laying it in a deep trench The
cost is great. but SO is that Of the annually

The total area Of cultivated land widens
from year to year with new territory, but
the comparative area devoted TO principal
crops, according to The National Stats
tician, really changes but little 1t coca
sionally occurs that the acreage devoted to
some of the principal crops is unavoidably
largely augmented at the expense of 9th
ers, as was the case with oats and corn
planted on extensive areas of winter
killed wheat, in 1885, but TIE next
season will show the balance again natur-
ally adjusted. The present year has wit
messed this forced change, but only to a
limited extent.
New Jersey and Pennsylvania put nhl-
merous fields Of winter killed wheat
into corn and oats, while in Ohio the area
devoted to the latter grain is much en-.
larged at the expense of both wheat and
clover injured by the winter. The New
England states show little variation in
the total area In New York the increas

The Prolific SPARROW,

Some thirty years ago the inch worm be-
came such nuisance, especially in the parks
Of large cities, that gentleman living III
Brooklyn sent for II pair of English sparrows
from which 10 raise progeny for the destruc-
ton Of the worms, This pair was liberated
on Columbia heights. Another pair were
placed in Madison square, New York, and
aftorward large numbers were brought over.
They have spread all over the country IN such
numbers that it is now questionable which
would be preferable, the sparrows OF the inch

60 as AS
CUT WORM AND MOTH.

There seems, however, to exist some
confusion in the minds of many concern
ing these worms, quite different species
being often designated under the common
name of cut worm. For the benefit of
this class of readers are here given Illus
trations that will make the Identification
of these pests n simple matter.
Cut worms are the caterpillars of moths
belonging to the night flying division, and
sometimes called May be.tle or June bug.
When fully grown the grub or worm is
about an inch and II half long, of ash gray
color, smooth and greasy in appearance
and plump and fat the back shows
numerous fine lines.
The moth lays its eggs in midsummer
or early autumn in The ground. The
young soon hatch, and feed on grass or
weeds until cold weather, when they make
their way down into the soil - spend the
winter. They Go but little injury in the
autumn, but as soon Us spring opens their
attacks become very noticeable. As the
parent insects appear to understand the
selection Of suitable places in which to
deposit their eggs, as also to avoid those
where their young would starve for food,
the surcst safeguard against the ravages
of these and all other species that deposit
their ogTs IN the ground is to starvc them
out by thorough cultivation previous to
putting in the crop, hence the practice of
blowing up in the fall lands that have be
come infected.
There are many SO called remedies for
cut worm when at work on growing
plants. Some of these doubtless modify
somewhat the extent of their ravagcs, but
nothing effective, which is practiccd on Il
large scale, has been introduced. The
most effective remedy, perhaps, is the one
suggested by Professor Riley. This con-
sists in scattering over II field, fifteen or
twenty feet apart, cabbage or turnip
leaves, grass or sod, that has been poi
soned with Paris green. These leaves or
grass employed as bait for the worms, are
dipped into a solution made by stirring a
tablespoonful of Paris green into II bucket
of water 1t is claimed by correspondents
who have tried the above that two appli-
cations, made at intervals of two or three
days, have proved etfectual, especially
when the applications are made in cloudy
weather.
The surer way of fighting these pests is,
however, with prevcntiVes. The most
systematic method is: First, to prevent
propagation by making bonfres in the
evening during the months of July and
August, when the moths appear, and lure
them to their own destruction. Then
during the autumn and early winter pillow
up the soil and turn out the pests to the
weather and the birds. While this will not
prevent destruction to crops this season,
it will he of great service another year,
and will repay all farmers who try it.

In England hard wood is made out Of soft
wool by the compression of the latter. For
carrying out this process is employed pow
erful hydraulic press, consisting OF a strong
cast iron top and bottom, with four steel col
umns and STEEL cylinder, with large ram,
In the center OF this ram is fitted a smaller
ram, fitting into die, which is placed on the
top of the large ram. The wool is put into
this die and pressure Of fourteen tons per
square inch is applied. The top pressure
block, which fits the die, is then removed;
and the small ram, rising, pushes the wood
out at the top OF the die. The London En-

others to the Academy of Science, ,Gij per
sons have died from yellow fever, and of
that number l,6G7 were unvaCCinated, eight
only Of those who had received the treat

A Good Plank Drag.

One of the most valuable implements on
q farm, the cost considered, is n good
plank drag 1t accomplishes more work
than either the roller or the harrow can
do The further soil is removed from a
virgin state, the greater is the need for
thorough pulvcrization; this is especially
true of clay soils, and plank drags are ad-
mirablc Instruments for doing the work.
4 good time to use n plank drag is as
soon after blowing as the soil is dry
enough to crumble.

Chinese In America.

Then legislative action came, in 1893, to check
the tide In that year the number fell to ISL
and in 1884 to 81 1t is estimated that nearly
one-half of those who come go back. With for
tunes of from 500 to 81 600 each these people
can live in China in comparative comfort ON

they should be in their prime. and the Nor
way spruce, at a corresponding age is de-

The planks are Tapped as this gives cut
ting edges to grind up the clOds. When
not in use, turn the drag edgewise against
a tree or on the north side of fence,
where it will be shaded. 1t is best to
have two clevises placed equidist2nt from
the center and about as far apart as half
the length Of the drag. A chain attached
to these, long enough to place the horses
some three feet from the drag, will make
it run steadcr than if the team were

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.
Tho Currents Of the Ocean and TheiI
Relations to Each Other.

All the currents Of the ocean seem to form
a connected system which has been compared
TO the circulation OF the blood. They are
principally caused by differences OF tempera-
ture and prevalent winds. Warm water
rises, cold water sinks. At the equator there
is a continual flow of expanded, rising water
toward the poles. AZ the poles there is con-
slant sinking of contracted or cooled water,
which flows an mdercurrent toward the
equator, the water of the equator moving on
the surface to supply its place. This motion
Is modified by the shape Of coasts or preva-
lent winds, forming the different ocean cur.
